Yeah, that doesn't strike me as a great approach either. The way this is handled in pglister (which is what the PostgreSQL.Org mailing lists use, and we throw quite a bit of mail around) is that non-subscribers and/or non-whitelisted folks do go to moderation, but we have a number of moderators and we more-or-less randomly pick the first moderator to email, if the mail isn't moderated after 5 minutes or so, we randomly pick a different moderator to email, and so on. We don't have any "automatically let the email through" option today, and we're pretty successfully able to moderate a lot of mail, let a lot of mail through, and have very very little spam get through (the little it does happen is almost always due to a mistake by a moderator, which does happen from time to time, of course). Thanks, Stephen
